Any GROCVS projects on the horizon?

Project 2619 ran for 2 (maybe 3) generations and disappeared. I may be wrong but I think it was the first public project to use the A2 (GROCVS) core. So did it produce any useful results? :) Were there any problems that need to be addressed? Can we expect more projects that use the A2 core in the future?

The A2 core is something that the researchers are/will be actively developing and testing as it holds the key to scalability of a single SMP client on an n-core system. I'm sure there will be other projects using this core as the SMP client matures. Alas, I only have a time-machine and not a mind reader: the usefulness of the results, thats something the researchers will have to answer :wink:

In a word, yes. We're finalizing some improvements to GROCVS, and you should see it back soon.
